*While Thepis is believed by modern historians to have lived during the 6th century BC, he is featured in Odyssey which takes place one century later.
*Historically, {{Wiki|Thespis}} is recognised as the first person ever to appear on stage as an actor playing a character in a play (instead of speaking as him or herself). Thespis lived during the 6th century BCE, making his presence in ''Assassin's Creed: Odyssey'' anachronistic, if indeed he is meant to be the same individual at all.
